The Department of Biological Sciences is dedicated to helping students develop a fundamental knowledge of life sciences down to the molecular level. Our programs provide a superior educational environment including hands on research and data analysis which help students understand the natural world they live in, even if they choose not to pursue science or research careers after graduating.

This fund will support one undergraduate researcher for 10 weeks during the summer. Students in this program are often interested in continuing the work that they started with faculty during the academic year. A portion of the fund covers research supplies and materials. We would like to raise $5,500.

We are seeking $10,000 to purchase state-of-the-art research equipment. As we prepare our students for careers in and out of the lab, we want to provide them with access to the tools that will give them the very best experience. Mastery of bench-based research is a prerequisite for those that want to work in life sciences.
